PIN CONFIGURATIONS Pin Name Description 1 RR A resistor to ground provides a reference current for the transmit and receive attenuators. 2 RTX A resistor to ground determines the nominal gain of the transmit attenuator. The transmit channel gain is inversely proportional to the RTX resistance. 3 TXI Input to the transmit attenuator. Input resistance is nominally 5.0 k ohms. 4 TXO Output of the transmit attenuator. The TXO output signal drives the input of the transmit level detector, as well as the external circuit which drives the telephone line. 5 TLI Input of the transmit level detector.

The microphone amplifier output is ac coupled to the XDI pin through an external resistor. 14 SKG High current ground pin for the speaker amp output stage. The SKG voltage should be within 10 mV of the ground voltage at Pin 22. 15 SKO Speaker amplifier output. The SKO pin will source and sink up to 100 mA when ac coupled to the speaker. The speaker amp gain is internally set at 34 dB (50V/V). 16 V+ Input dc supply voltage. V+ can be powered from Tip and Ring if an ac decoupling inductor is used to prevent loading ac line signals. The required V+ voltage is 6.0 to 11 V (7.5 V nominal) at 7.0 mA. 17 AGC A capacitor from this pin to VB stabilizes the speaker amp gain control loop and http://www.belling.com.cn -2Total 16 Pages 8/15/2006 Wrote by 2006 BL34018 additionally controls the attack and decay time of this circuit. The gain control loop limits the speaker amp input to prevent clipping at SKO. The internal resistance at the AGC pin is nominally 110 k ohms. 18 CS Digital chip select input. When at a logic “0” (<0.7 V) the VCC regulator is enabled. When at a logic “1” (>1.6 V), the chip is in the standby mode drawing 0.5 mA. An open CS pin is a logic “0”.

DESIGN GUIDELINES(REF TO FIG. 1) ATTENUATORS The transmit and receive attenuators are complementary in function, i.e., when one is at maximum gain the other is at maximun attenuation, and vice versa. They are never both on or both off. Their main purpose is to control the transmit and receive paths to provide the half-duplex operation required of a speakerphone. The attenuators are controlled safely by the voltage at the ACF pin. The ACF voltage is provided by the Attenuator Control block, which receives 3 inputs:a) the TX - RX Comparator, b) the Transmit Detector Comparator, and c) the Volume Control. The response of the attenuators is based on the difference of the ACF voltage from VCC (referred to as ∆Vacf). If ∆Vacf is approximately 6mV the transmit attenuator is fully on and the receive attenuator is fully off( transmit mode). If ∆Vacf is approximately 150mV the circuit is in the receive mode. If ∆Vacf is approximately 75mV, the circuit is in the idle mode, and the two attenuators are at gain settings approximately half way (in dB) between their fully on and fully off positions. The maximum gain and attenuation values are determined by the three external resistors RR, RTX, and RRX. RR affects both attenuators according to its value RELATIVE to RTX and RRX. RTX affects the gain and attenuation of only the transmit attenuator, while RRX affects the gain and attenuation of only the receive attenuator. A value of 30 k is recommended for RR as a starting point, and then RTX and RRX selected to suit the particular design goals. The input impedance of the attenuators (at TXI and RXI) is typically 5.0 kΩ, and the maximum input signal which will not cause output distortion is 250 mVrms(707 mVP-P). The 4300 ohm resistor and 0.01 uF capacitor at RXO (in Figure 1) filters out high frequency components in the receive path. This helps minimize high frequency acoustic feedback problems. The filter’s insertion loss is 1.5 dB at 1.0 kHz. The outputs of the attenuators are inverted from their inputs. Referring to the attenuator control block, the ∆Vacf voltage at its output is determined by three inputs. The relationship of the inputs and ouput is summarized in the following truth table: Volume Control ∆Vacf Mode Transmit No Effect 6.0 mV Transmit Transmit Idle No Effect 75 mV Idle Receive Transmit Affects ∆Vacf 50 – 150 mV Receive Receive Idle Affects ∆Vacf 50 – 150 mV Receive Tx – Rx Transmit Comp Det Comp Transmit http://www.belling.com.cn -7Total 16 Pages 8/15/2006 Wrote by 2006 BL34018 As can be seen from the truth table, the Tx-Rx comparator dominates. The Transmit Detector Comparator is effective only in the transmit mode, and the Volume Control is effective only in the receive mode. The Tx-Rx comparator is in the transmit position when there is sufficient transmit signal present over and above any receive signal. The Transmit Detector Comparator then determines whether the transmit signal is a result of background noise ( a relatively stable signal) or speech which consists of bursts. If the signal is due to background noise, the attenuators will be put into the idle mode (∆Vacf = 75 mV). If the signal consists of speech, the attenuators will be switched to the transmit mode (∆Vacf = 6.0 mV.) A further explanation of this function will be found in the section on the transmit detector circuit. The Tx-Rx comparator is in the receive position when there is sufficient receive signal to overcome the background noise AND any speech signals. The ∆Vacf will now be 150 mV IF the volume control is at the maximum position, i.e. VLC (Pin 24) = VB. If VLC is less than VB, the gain of the receive attenuator, and the attenuation of the transmit attenuator, will vary in a complementary manner. At the minimum recommended operating level (VLC = 0.55VB) the gain of the tranmit attenuator is actually greater than that of the receive atttenuator, although it is at receive mode. The effect of varying VLC is to vary ∆Vacf, with a resulting variation in the gains of the attenuators. The capacitor at ACF (Pin 25) smooths the transition between operating modes. This keeps down any “clicks” in the speaker or transmit signal when the ACF voltage switches. The gain separation of the two attenuators can be reduced from the typical 45 dB by adding a resistor between Pins 20(VCC ) and 25(ACF). The effect is a reduction of the maximum ∆Vacf voltage in the receive mode, while not affecting ∆Vacf in the transmit mode. LOGAMPS (Transmit and Receive Level Detectors) The log amps monitor the levels of the transmit and receive signals, so as to tell the Tx-Rx comparator which mode should be in effect. The input signals are applied to the amplifiers (at TLI and RLI) through AC coupling capacitors and current limiting resistors. The value of these components determines the sensitivity of the respective amplifiers, and has an effect on the switching times between tranmit and receive modes. The feedback elements for the amplifiers are back-to-back diodes which provide a logarithmic gain curve. The outputs of the amplifiers are rectified, having a quick rise and a slow decay time. The rise time is determined primarily by the external capacitor and an internal 500 ohm resistor, and is on the order of a fraction of 1 ms. The decay time is determined by the external resistor and capacitor, and is on the order of a fraction of 1 s. The switching time is not fixed, but depends on the relative values of the transmit and receive signals, as well as these external components. The Tx-Rx comparator responds to the voltages at TLO and RLO, which in turn are functions of the currents sourced out of TLI and RLI, respectively. If an offset at the comparator input is desired, e.g., to prevent noise from switching the system, or to give preference to either the transmit or receive channel, this may be achieved by biasing the appropriate input (TLI or RLI). A resistor to ground will cause a DC current to flow out of that input, thus forcing the output of that http://www.belling.com.cn -8Total 16 Pages 8/15/2006 Wrote by 2006 BL34018 amplifier to be biased slightly higher than normal. This amplifier then becomes the preferred one in the system operation. Resistor values from 500 k to 10 M ohms are recommended for this purpose. SPEAKER AMPLIFIER The speaker amplifier has a fixed gain of 34 dB (50V/V), and is noninverting. The input impedance is nominally 22 kΩ as long as the output signal is below that required to activate the Peak Limiter. Since the output current capability is 100 mA, the output swing is limited to 5.0VPP while load is 25 ohms. The output impedance depends on the output signal level and is relatively low as long as the signal level is not near the maximum limits. At 3 VPP, it is < 0.5 ohms, and at 4.5 VPP, it is < 3 ohms. The output is short circuit protected at approximately 300 mA. When the amplifier is overdriven, the peak limiter causes a portion of the input signal to be shunted to ground, in order to maintain a constant output level. The effect is that of a gain reduction caused by a reduction of the input impedance (at SKI) to a value not less than 2.0 kΩ. The capacitor at Pin 17 (AGC) determines the response time of the peak limiter circuit. When a large input signal is applied to SKI, the voltage at AGC will drop quickly as a current source is applied to the external capacitor. When the large input signal is reduced, the current source is turned off, and an internal 110 kΩ resister discharges the capacitor so the voltage at AGC can return to its normal value (1.9 Vdc). The capacitor additionally stabilizes the peak limiting feedback loop. If there is a need to mute the speaker amplifier without disabling the rest of the circuit, this may be accomplished by connecting a resistor from the AGC pin to ground. A 100 kΩ resister will reduce the gain by 34 dB (0 dB from SKI to SKO), and a 10 kΩ resister will reduce the gain by almost 50 dB. TRANSMIT DETECTOR CIRCUIT The transmit detector circuit, also known as the background noise monitor, distinguishes speech (which consists of bursts) from the background noise ( a relatively constant signal). It does this by storing a voltage level, representative of the average background noise, in the capacitor at CP1( Pin 11). The resistor and capacitor at this pin have a time constant of approximately 5 seconds(in Figure 1). The voltage at Pin 11 is applied to the inverting input of the Transmit Detector Comparator. In the absence of speech signals, the noninverting input receives the same voltage level minus an offset of 36 mV. In this condition, the output of the comparator will be low, the output transistor turned off, and the voltage at XDC (Pin 23) will be at ground. If the Tx-Rx comparator is in the transmit position, the attenuators will be in the idle mode ( ∆Vacf = 75 mV). When speech is presented to the microphone, the signal burst appearing at XDI reaches the noninverting input of the transmit detector comparator before the voltage at the inverting input can change, causing the output to switch high, driving the voltage at XDC up to approximately 4 V. This high level causes the attenuator control block to switch the attenuators from the idle mode to the transmit mode (assuming the Tx-Rx comparator is in the transmit mode). The series resistor and capacitor at XDI (Pin 13) determine the sensitivity of the transmit detector circuit. Increasing the resistor, or lowering the capacitor, will reduce the response at CP2 and CP1. http://www.belling.com.cn -9Total 16 Pages 8/15/2006 Wrote by 2006 BL34018 The response at CP2, CP1, XDC to a varying signal at the microphone is as follows: 1. CP2 ( Pin 12) follows the peaks of the speech signals, and decays at a rate determined by the 10 uA current source and the capacitor at CP2. 2. CP1 (Pin 11) increases at a rate determined by the RC at this pin after CP2 has made a positive transition. It will follow the decay pattern of CP2. 3. The noninverting input of the Transmit Detector Comparator follows CP2, gained up by 2.7, and reduced by an offset 36 mV. This voltage, compared to CP1, determines the output of the comparator. 4. XDC (Pin 23) will rise quickly to 4 Vdc in response to a positive transition at CP2, but will decay at a rate determined by the RC at this pin. When XDC is above 3.25 Vdc, the circuit will be in the transmit mode. As it decays towards ground, the attenuators are taken to idle mode. MICROPHONE AMPLIFIER The microphone amplifier is noninverting, has an internal gain of 34 dB(50 V/V), and a nominal input impedance of 10 kΩ. The output impedance is typically < 15 ohms. The maximum p-p voltage swing available at the output is approximately 2.0 V less than VCC, which is substantially more than what is required in most applications. The input at MCI(Pin 9) should be ac coupled to the microphone so as to not upset the bias voltage. Generally, microphone sensitivity may be adjusted by varying the 2 k microphone bias resistor, rather than by attempting to varying the gain of the amplifier. POWER SUPPLY The voltage supply at V+ (Pin 16) should be in the range of 6.0 to 11 V, although the circuit will operate down to 4.0 V. The voltage can be supplied either from Tip and Ring, or from a separate supply. It is imperative that the V+ supply be a good ac ground for stability reasons. If it is not well filtered (by a 1000 uF capacitor AT THE IC), any variation at V+ caused by the required speaker current flowing through this pin can cause a low frequency oscillation. The result is usually that the circuit will cut the speaker signal on and off at the rate of a few hertz. VCC VCC (Pin 22) is a regulated output voltage of 5.4 ±0.5 V. Regulation will be maintained as long as V+ is (typically) 80 mV greater than the regulated value of VCC. Up to 3 mA can be sourced from this supply for external use. The output impedance is < 20 ohms. The 47 uF capacitor connecting to this pin is essential for stability reasons. The capacitor must be located adjacent to the IC.If the circuit is deselected, the VCC will go to 0 V. VB VB is a regulated output voltage with a nominal value of 2.9±0.4 V. It is derived from VCC and tracks it, holding a value of approximately 54% of VCC. 1.5 mA can be sourced from this supply at a typically output impedance of 250 ohms. The 47 uF capacitor connecting to this pin is essential for stability reasons. The capacitor must be ocated adjacent to the IC. If the circuit is deselected, the VB will go to 0 V. CHIP SELECT The CS pin (Pin 18) allows the chip to be powered down anytime its functions are not http://www.belling.com.cn - 10 Total 16 Pages 8/15/2006 Wrote by 2006 BL34018 required. A logic “1” level in the range of 1.6 V to 11 V deselects the chip. The input resistance at Pin 18 is > 75 kΩ. The VCC and VB regulated voltages go to 0.0 when the chip is deselected. Leaving Pin 18 open is equivalent to a Logic “0” (chip enabled). http://www.belling.com.cn - 11 Total 16 Pages 8/15/2006 Wrote by 2006 BL34018 http://www.belling.com.cn - 12 Total 16 Pages 8/15/2006 Wrote by 2006 BL34018 http://www.belling.com.cn - 13 Total 16 Pages 8/15/2006 Wrote by 2006 BL34018 SWITCHING TIME The switching times of the speakerphone circuit depends not only on the various external components, but also on the operating conditions of the circuit at the time a change is to take effect. For example, the switching time from idle to transmit is generally quicker than the switching time from receive to transmit ( or transmit to receive). The components which most significantly affect the timing between the transmit and receive modes are those at Pins 5 (transmit turn-on), 6 (transmit turn-off), 7 (receive turn-on), and 8 (receive turn-off). These four timing functions are not independent, but interactive since the Tx-Rx comparator operates on a RELATIVE Tx-Rx comparison, rather than on absolute values. The components at Pins 11, 12, 13 and 23 affect the timing from the transmit mode to the idle mode. Timing from the idle mode to transmit mode is relatively quick ( due to the quick charging of the various capacitors), and is not greatly affected by the component values. Pins 5-8 do not affect the idle-to-transmit timing since the Tx-Rx comparator must already be in the transmit mode for this to occur. The following table provides a summary of the effect on the switching time of the various components, including the volume control: Components Tx to Rx Rx to Tx Tx to Idle RC @ Pin 5 Moderate Significant No Effect RC @ Pin 6 Significant Moderate No Effect RC @ Pin 7 Significant Moderate No Effect RC @ Pin 8 Moderate Significant No Effect RC @ Pin 11 No Effect Slight Moderate No Effect Slight Significant RC @ Pin 13 No Effect Slight Slight RC @ Pin 23 No Effect Slight Significant V@ Pin 24 No Effect Moderate No Effect C@ Pin 25 Moderate Moderate Slight C @ Pin 12 http://www.belling.com.cn - 14 Total 16 Pages 8/15/2006 Wrote by 2006 BL34018 Additionally, the following should be noted: 1) The RCs at Pins 5 and 7 have a dual function in that they affect the sensitivity of the respective log amplifiers, or in other words, how loud the speech must be in order to get control of the speakerphone circuit. 2) The RC at Pin 13 also has a dual function in that it determines the sensitivity of the transmit detector circuit. 3) The volume control affects the switching speed, and the relative response to transmit signals, in the following manner: When the circuit is in the increases the signal at receive mode, reducing the volume control setting TXO, and consequently the signal to the TLI pin. Therefore a given at TXI will switch the circuit into the transmit mode quicker at signal low volume settings. APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The BL34018 speakerphone IC is designed to provide the function additionally required when a speakerphone is added to a standard telephone. The IC provides the necessary relative level detection and comparison of the speech signals provided by the talkers at the speakerphone(near end speaker) and at the distant telephone(far end speaker). The BL34018 is designed for use with an electorate type microphone a 25 ohms speaker, and has an output power capability of 100mW.All external components surrounding this device are passive, however, this IC does require additional circuitry to interface the TIp and Ring telephone lines. Two suggested circuits are shown in the data sheet. Fig 16 depicts a configuration which does not include a handset, dialer, or ringer. The only controls are S1(to make the connection to the line),S2(a "privacy" switch),and the volume control. It is meant to be used in parallel with a normal telephone which has dialing and ringing functions. Fig 17 depicts a means of providing logic level signal that indicate which mode of operation the BL34018 is in. Comparator A indicates whether the circuit is in receive or transmit mode and comparator B indicates(when in transmit/idle mode) whether the circuit is in the transmit or idle mode. The LM393 dual comparator is chosen because of its low current requirement (<1.0mA), low voltage requirement (as low as 2.0volts), and low cost . http://www.belling.com.cn - 15 Total 16 Pages 8/15/2006 Wrote by 2006 BL34018 http://www.belling.com.cn - 16 Total 16 Pages 8/15/2006 Wrote by 2006
